Same here. I also carry a comb and a handkerchief. But it's pretty silly
to pretend that the motivation for those things is the same as the
motivation for carrying a gun.

Often that works...

AFAICT only one person here is that fearful, and
AFAICT that person has never once used the gun for its intended purpose.

Fact is that my little gun and I own you, Krygowski.  I'll bet you go
to sleep every night trying think up how you can be even nastier to
me. It's fun to watch. I'm not the least bit ashamed about my gun.

I'm reminded of the joke about the guy who walked around snapping his
fingers all the time.

The fact that Krygowski spends so much Internet time trying to shame
me is pretty good proof of how much I've shamed him. He runs away from
it and for me, it's a guilty pleasure.

Just today I pulled the PVC tubes out of the bracket and painted it
black. I'll have a new picture of it soon.
